Well it was nearly 11pm - it's dark outside.

Then again, going back to the BBC London presenter roster, how many do they need (I noticed Alice Salfield returned to our screens this week following another spell of maternity leave)? So Frankie McCamley is added to the following list of presenters:

Riz Lateef
Asad Ahmad
Victoria Hollins
Alice Bhandukravi
Tolu Odoeye
Tarah Welsh
Sonja Jessup
Alison Earle
Alice Salfield
Alpa Patel (though haven't seen her in a while - maternity leave?)

Post edited by Rob - the last sentence was uncalled for.

Yes, she's on maternity leave, so presumably Frankie is covering her shifts which include presenting.

I think Martin Stew made his debut presenting the late ITV News London bulletin.

he occasionally presented when he was the weatherman

It must be a while since Martin last did a bulletin as the only evidence from YouTube is from 2014.

I wonder if ITV London will be bringing back in studio guest interviews anytime soon now that restrictions have lifted?

It looks like yesterday was the first time in two years that they’ve had in studio guests on ITV London

I'm wondering if BBC London are also having Covid staffing issues as Alison Earle presented the main bulletin rather than the usual stand-ins and the late bulletin was with Monika Plaha from Look Levy.

Spotted ITV2 showbiz presenter Lucy Jones reporting on ITV News London this evening.

The late London bulletin was replaced by a combined London & South East bulletin with Leigh Milner in Tunbridge Wells. Asad Ahmad presented the early evening bulletin.

At the end of the evening bulletin Asad was expecting to be back and the weather shown was south east only. There was a London story to kick off the combined bulletin.

BBC London News during Breakfast welcomed Look East viewers this morning, it was a planned share as the bulletin also contained a story from Kings Lynn.

In their evidence to a select committee inquiry, ITN mention ITV News London's relationship with LBC News:

- on Friday the post-election special of ITV News London was presented live from the roof of LBC/Global in Leicester Square
